A room of one's own : the author and the reader in the text
Get PDFThe self-sufficiency to which postmodemist fictions aspire does not imply the denial of facts or a refusal to incorporate them within their borderlines. But it aims to subsume facts under the head of fictionality. And in order to ensure the special status necessary for fiction to justify this subsumption of facts, the fictional text can no longer rely on its immanent aesthetic value. In a world where texts tend to be commentaries on one another, the postmodemist novel attempts to regain an independent status by fictionalizing the authorreader relationship to the point where the factual relationship between author and reader becomes irrelevant. This fictionalization, as a permutation of the relationship from actual interdependence to a mode of self-sufficiency, is achieved by changing the temporal sequence of writing and reading into the spatial concept of an erotic relationship between author and reader. And this form of spatialization once more supplies the novel with the ideal necessary to overreach itself
The tale of the author or, Scheherazade's betrayal
Get PDFJohn Barth, the postmodernist american writer, who is now in the second cycle of his middle age, professes to have had only one true love during all of his life. Her name is Scheherazade. This love affair began when the writer,"as an illiterate undergraduate, worked off part of my tuition filing books in the Classics Library at Johns Hopkins, which included the stacks of the Oriental Seminary". In 1972 Barth published "Chimera", which consists of three novellas
John Barth's "Echo": the story in love with its author
Get PDFThe emblematic quality of "Echo" derives its force from the double meaning of the word "self reflection" from both its concrete and its abstract connotations. In Barth's story, this double meaning serves to relate content and form and to establish an ironic tension between them: the encounter of mythic Narcissus, the story's protagonist. with his concrete self reflection - his image in the pool determines the content of the story; and his abstract self reflection - his search for self knowledge - provides the story's form. This ironic tension is embodied in the ambivalent nature of the complement to Narcissus, the nymph Echo, who appears as both character and voice
John Barth's "Sot-weed factor" revisited: the meaning of form
Get PDF"The sot-weed factor" by John Barth is an expanded parody of the historic Ebenezer Cooke's poem of the same tide as well as of the latter's role as colonial Maryland's first poet laureate. But in the course of the novel the dual nature of parody, as defined between the opposite poles of imitation and play, or necessity and freedom, becomes emblematic of the postmodern imagination as such. Just as the novel's content derives its meaning from the ambivalent central symbol of twinhood, which unfolds in the question of identity and role, so the novel's form mirrors an increasing tension between fiction and reality. Parody, for Barth, becomes a means of solving this tension by dissolving recollected and recorded experience into separate segments which the present author may then treat as material for the creative imagination. In "The sot-weed factor" stories become games played by the author. However, as a creator of fictional characters, while resambling the Creator of real mankind, the author neverthless remains one of His playthings. Thus the freedom which he achieves in entering the realm of the creative imagination can only be enjoyed at the price of evading reality
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
